What is BTPC?
=============

BTPC is a general-purpose image coding method for lossless or lossy compression
of photographs and graphics. It is well suited for coding multimedia images
which combine text, graphics and photographs, and  is also appropriate as a
general-purpose method when the image type is not known in advance.

As a lossy compressor, BTPC is slightly superior to JPEG for photographic
images and much superior for graphics. Visually-transparent coding of color
graphics is usually possible at the rate used by GIF. Against a
state-of-the-art lossy scheme (Said and Pearlman's modified zerotree coder), it
is inferior for photographs but superior for graphics, mixed  and multimedia
images. Moreover (see below), BTPC is much faster.

When applied losslessly, BTPC has good performance on both natural images and
graphics. Against a state-of-the-art lossless scheme (Wu's CALIC), it is
usually inferior for photographs and about the same for graphics. Again, BTPC
is much faster.

BTPC uses a binary pyramid, predictive coding and Huffman coding. No part of it
is covered by patents. C++ source code is available and may be freely used.
BTPC is inherently progressive, and a straightforward modification of the
decoder to write directly to an on-screen picture buffer allows simple,
progressive, image recovery.

What's new in Version 3 - Fast decoding
=======================================

In version 3, BTPC decode times have been halved over the previous version
(2c). Version 3 also improves encoding speed and gives slightly better
compression.

BTPC decoding speed is now equal to that of the Independent JPEG group (IJG)
JPEG decoder, and more than three times faster than its other rivals. Of
course, in the words of the IJG, it is "still not as fast as we'd like".

Where to find it
================

Documentation of Binary Tree Predictive Coding is at:

http://monet.uwaterloo.ca/~john/btpc.html

Source code is at:

ftp://monet.uwaterloo.ca/pub/john/btpcv3.tar.Z

To run
-------

        cbtpc input_pic output_file [quality]
        dbtpc input_file output_pic

The optional quality parameter is a number between 0 and 100. Default is 75.
Quality values roughly approximate JPEG quality values, but 100 is lossless.

This version only reads and writes PGM and PPM raw format files (magic number
"P5" or "P6").

Comparisons between BTPC, JPEG and the State of the Art
=======================================================

I have compared BTPC with the current standard, JPEG, and what I consider to be
the state of the art in still-image compression. For lossless coding I have
compared against Wu's CALIC system, which has been proposed for the lossless
mode of JPEG, and has done well in the first round of tests for that standard.
For lossy coding I have compared against Said and Pearlman's wavelet-based
embedded coder (based on Shapiro's zerotree approach). Both CALIC and the Said
and Pearlman (henceforth S&P) coder exist in slow and fast versions. In each
case the slow version uses an arithmetic coder to improve compression. BTPC and
JPEG can compress color pictures, but S&P and CALIC can not, so the results
here refer only to grayscale images.

I have used an extensive set of test images, most of which are available at
links.uwaterloo.ca. Here I give representative results from that testing. The
programs were run on a SparcStation; times are in seconds. I have included only
decoding time - for all methods encoding time is longer. Indeed, for BTPC, I
have not tried to optimize the encoder at all, so it currently takes between
two and three times as long as the decoder to run. The reason for my neglect of
encoding speed is that fast decoding is more important in the applications I am
interested in (e.g. image databases). Nonetheless, BTPC version 3 encoding is
substantially faster than CALIC and S&P.

Some caveats
------------

I have chosen CALIC and S&P because I believe them to be the best that is
currently being achieved. Possibly some commercial products do better. I would
like to hear about any that are available for evaluation.

Having said this, please bear in mind that BTPC is not intended to beat state
of the art systems like CALIC and S&P in their areas of strength. Rather, it is
supposed to be "general purpose", which means it should do reasonably well over
a wide range of possible inputs, and should run fast. Testing against the state
of the art is a kind of "worst case" comparison, so be warned!

One of BTPC's design criteria was decoding speed. I am not sure that this was
the case for CALIC and S&P. However, both Wu, and Said and Pearlman have argued
that their fast versions are fast (!) so I've considered it fair game to make
them compete in a timing comparison.

A consequence of designing BTPC as a "general-purpose" coder is that the only
difference between lossless and lossy coding is the quantizer step size. For
better or for worse, I have resisted the idea of a separate lossless "mode",
and I am still not sure of the wisdom of this.

1.     Typical figures for photographic images
-----------------------------------------------

Here are two sets of typical results for coding photographic images. These show
the general trend for photos with BTPC falling between JPEG and S&P/CALIC for
compression efficiency, and BTPC and JPEG being much faster than the fast
versions of S&P and CALIC.

2.     BTPC's worst case
-------------------------

In my test suite, BTPC's worst case was "achieved" on the 512 x 512
photographic image "Barbara" which includes large areas of stripes. This is the
only picture for which BTPC performed worse than JPEG (and then only
marginally). The reason is that JPEG's DCT is able to exploit the regular
spatial frequency structure of the stripes. BTPC cannot do this. (On the other
hand, BTPC clearly outperforms JPEG on textured pictures with less regular
spatial structure - e.g. Gold Hill.)

512 x 512 Barbara:

CALIC slow                      4.48            26.5

3.     Typical figures for graphical images
--------------------------------------------

With purely graphical images, BTPC's performance improves relative to the other
schemes. It consistently compresses more than JPEG, S&P and the fast version of
CALIC. It compresses about the same as the slow version of CALIC, at about nine
times the speed. Here are figures for coding two typical presentation graphics.

496 x 672 France:

Lossy coding at PSNR 34.6 dB (= JPEG coded with Q of 75):

Scheme                          bpp             Decode time
------                          ---             -----------

JPEG (IJG v 6)                  1.43            1.7
BTPC3                           0.53            1.7
S&P fast                        1.09            7.1
S&P slow                        0.87            14.4

Lossless coding:

Scheme                          bpp             Decode time
------                          ---             -----------

BTPC3                           0.89            2.2
CALIC fast                      1.40            7.4
CALIC slow                      0.82            21.2

The difference between the two CALIC results is correct, and illustrates a
problem with the use of Huffman coding in the CALIC algorithm on highly
redundant images.

372 x 619 World Map:

Lossy coding at PSNR 34.4 dB (= JPEG coded with Q of 75):

Scheme                          bpp             Decode time

                                                        version of the image]
S&P slow                        1.27            12.1

Lossless coding:

------                          ---             -----------

BTPC3                           0.63            1.2
CALIC fast                      1.06            3.2
CALIC slow                      0.61            12.0

4.     Typical figures for multimedia images
---------------------------------------------

Because the relative performance of BTPC and the other schemes is different on
photographs and graphics, mixed or multimedia images can give different
results. Here is an example where photographs are embedded within two-level
graphics (UW Library montage). This favors CALIC which has a special mode for
two-level regions.

Lossy coding at PSNR 30.6 dB (= JPEG coded with Q of 75):

BTPC3                           5.42            1.8
CALIC fast                      5.20            6.6
CALIC slow                      5.01            16.4

Summary of the Results
======================

Further results are given at http://monet.uwaterloo.ca/~john/btpc.html. The
ones given above are supposed to be representative of the general trends which
I summarize as:

1. Lossless coding. BTPC compression is usually between 5 and 10% less
   efficient than the state of the art, CALIC, for photographs, and about the
   same efficiency as the slow version of CALIC for graphics. It is
   substantially more efficient than the fast version of CALIC for graphics. It
   is about 3.5 times faster than the fast version and about 9 times faster
   than the slow version on average. BTPC requires more memory than CALIC, in
   that the entire picture is held in store. On the other hand, it allow
   progressive decoding.

2. Lossy coding vs JPEG. BTPC is almost always superior to JPEG. On average it
   is about 20% more efficient than JPEG for photographs, at least twice as
   efficient for graphics. Decoding is as fast as the IJG decoding and uses
   slightly more memory. Encoding currently takes between two and three times
   as long as IJG JPEG.

3. Lossy coding vs the state of the art. Embedded coders like S&P and Shapiro's
   seem to be the future of lossy coding for natural images. BTPC is
   competitive on simple pictures (like cameraman, mentioned above), but on
   more textured images can require 50% more bits than S&P for a photograph.
   However, BTPC codes graphics and multimedia images more efficiently, and its
   decoding time is always less than a third that of fast S&P, and usually less
   than a quarter.
